Gransport Intro

[Gransport]

Hi,
Name is Eddie from the UK. I am a big US Muscle Car fan. I bought a '69 Road Runner about 10 years ago and it go left in a corner. Now finally back on the road.

Just did bits and pieces between other cars. New trunk floor and drop offs. Rebuilt the broken auto console. Seta covers are still original tan. New grilll and carpet. had a suitcase full of every suspension part for the front end so that went on this year. Still drums on the front but have a disc kit coming over with another car later this year.

Costed for rebuilding the NOM 383 but a built 440 came up with purple cam which was a drop in no brainer. Refreshed the 727 with filter change and Trans Go shift kit. Its a really good fun car to drive.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Heres some images of it at the moment. 10 years ago i hated the monkey shit brown colour. Now I think its pretty cool!

It could really do with rear quarter panels at some point if I keep it. I'll be picking your brains on the best panels to buy and how to fit- ie AMD are about half as much again as the cheapest panels, are they that much better for a daily driver?

May fit a six pack hood too as someone in the UK can make one. I have the Air Grabber hood parts (need assembling and fixing up) but it was never an Air Grabber car so may not be time and money well spent.

All the best
Eddie

Love the car. As kids, we called that shitmuckle brown. I've grown more fond of it over the years too. I'm a big fan of the the dog dish look too.

the cheaper panels have softer body lines. spend the extra $ and go with AMD, or Year One(where I got mine).save the $ for cheaper parts that won't be seen.
